On a number of occasions, I’ve noticed a file named Sentinel in the iTunes base directory. I did a Google search around a year ago and didn’t find anything explaining what it was and, after noticing it again recently, searched again to no avail. I decided to figure out what the file was by seeing what actions updated it (I noticed the last modified date was yesterday.) In this guide, I explain what the file is for those that are curious.
Microsoft’s latest incarnation of Internet Explorer, Internet Explorer 9 has tonnes of cool new features.
Over the coming weeks, we’ll be covering many of these features in How To & Quick Tip guides.
Todays Quick Tip is going to show you how to set IE9’s ‘speed dial’ as your Home page.

I have a friend who is all MAC. Everything in his house is MAC-Something. Phone, sound system, stereo, tv, the works. What’s neat about his setup is the ability to control everything via his iPhone. Whenever he wants to put on some music, watch some TV, play a game, he taps his iPhone app, choose the playlist and Presto … no matter where in the house he is . Being a bit envy – and not being able to afford an entire MAC-based setup – I checked to see if I could find something usable for my Windows Mobile or my Android Mobile. And guess what? I Did… for both!

In this How To guide I will be showing you how to create your own Start Orb for Windows 7. I’ll be using Photoshop CS5. Sorry to those who use alterative software. I’m sure you’ll be able to follow using your preferred software however.
If you’re into customising your system, you would have inevitably, at some point, been denied access to some files. There are ways around this, as we have covered in the past. None however are as slick looking and handy as GlassOwnership.
GlassOwnership is an installer and has several options that will allow you to customise your setup.
You can choose to add GlassOwnership to the Windows context menu (with an additional shift option key), and for those who wish to keep an uncluttered context menu, a considerate ‘Send To’ option.
The Situation: You’re doing some work that requires a bunch of images and you’ve found a site that has some great free images that would work very nicely. To get each of the images, however, you need to go through a bunch of steps. First you gotta locate a screen that tells you what’s available — a “thumbnail” screen usually:
